About Me
I’ve worked at the forefront of user experience for over 15 years and want to continue building software that makes humanity better.
Known for my domain fluency, I help teams move quickly while maintaining a strong vision for product quality and user trust. My career is defined by the ability to architect high-level product strategies while remaining deeply rooted in the technical craft of implementation. My work emphasizes functionality without sacrificing joy and delight.
Core Competencies
Deep Product Thinking: Aligning user-centered outcomes with business goals and operational constraints
Technical Fluency: A "Full-Spectrum" designer who writes code (HTML/CSS/JS) and learns new environments (Unity/Clojure) to support engineering
Craft-Level Interaction: High-fidelity design that builds immediate user trust and introduces moments of delight
Collaborative Leadership: Pushing teams toward better outcomes through shared vision and fast, focused execution
My Values
Eliminate Unnecessary User Friction (Non-Negotiable)
If there’s a clearer, simpler way to do something, I fight for it. Friction erodes trust, slows adoption, and shows a lack of care.Earn User Trust Through Quality
Users trust products that feel considered, coherent, and well-crafted—especially early on. I advocate for investing in polish and interaction quality from the start, not as a future phase.Collaborate to Elevate the Work
Great products are built by aligned teams who care about the outcome. I work as a collaborative partner, engaging stakeholders and engineers to raise the bar together.Move Fast Without Sacrificing Clarity
I think and execute quickly while keeping the experience coherent and the goals clear.
